Washington Post features Crafty Bastards

The most recent Washington Post Weekend section had an in-depth feature about the Crafty Bastards alternative-craft fair.
The Washington Glass School lays claim to two of the featured artists - Kristina Bilonick and Rania Hassan!
The article by Lavanya Ramanathan covers the Crafty Bastards fair in general, and has a separate focused article on each of the highlighted artists.

Her work as Program Director (more than a 'party planner' as the Post describes her) for the arts organization Washington Project for the Arts has really put DC area artists into the spotlight - it is nice to see some well-deserved attention come back on her!
